Gabriel and the team were fantastic to work with! They were professional, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable about the entire solar installation process. Everything was handled smoothly, from the initial consultation to the final setup. The quality of their work is top-notch, and their customer service is outstanding. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solar company.

Paul and did an amazing job helping me understand solar power and how it could help me save money. I was thrilled with the service, which included a brand-new roof and some tree removal for an extremely low cost. And now I’m paying the same price every month for electricity and enjoying a very cool air-conditioned house this hot summer without surprise crazy bills each month. Highly recommend!

We recently had solar installed on our two-family home, and was fantastic to work with! Jenni Martinez was with us every step of the way, explaining what would be done, when, by whom, and why. The whole process felt streamlined and easy. Jenni was available to help us with all of our questions and kept us updated on status. She’s super passionate about solar energy, and it was such a pleasure to work with her. Definitely recommend you reach out to her if you want to learn about your options for your own home!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need solar to add a battery?

No. A battery can be installed as a standalone backup system, even if you do not have solar.

If you already have solar, we can review your current system, financing agreement, and energy needs to determine whether adding a battery is possible and which solution makes the most sense. Battery options may include an outright purchase or a battery PPA, depending on your situation.

Battery backup time depends on the battery’s capacity, your home’s energy usage, and which appliances you choose to power.

Most systems are designed to support your home’s critical loads, such as refrigerators, lights, internet, heating controls, medical equipment, and selected outlets. Larger energy users may require additional battery capacity or may not be included during an outage.

We will help determine the right size based on your priorities and expected energy use.

Possibly. Your options depend on the specific PPA agreement, provider, and equipment involved.

Some agreements may allow you to purchase the system, transfer the agreement, renew it, or make other changes at certain points. We will review the terms with you and explain what options are available before making a recommendation.

Your utility may be able to enroll your battery in a demand-response program, such as ConnectedSolutions. These programs may allow the utility to use some of the battery’s stored energy during certain grid events.

Participation is subject to program eligibility and the terms of your utility agreement. can help evaluate eligibility and assist with the setup process.

Most modern battery systems require minimal routine maintenance. They are monitored electronically and designed for automatic operation.

You should keep the area around the battery clear, avoid blocking ventilation, and contact us if you notice an alert, unusual noise, damage, or a change in performance. Depending on the system and agreement, monitoring, service, and repairs may be included.

If you own your solar system, we can evaluate whether it is compatible with battery storage and design the appropriate solution. If your solar system is financed through a PPA or lease, we first need to review the agreement and confirm whether the provider allows a battery addition.

We will check your existing equipment, agreement, electrical setup, and backup goals before recommending the next step.
